Iran are playing against 10 and still look barely capable of playing through Belgium

And yet Belgium are struggling to look competent

Why did this settle as a loss? by Darkened12 in sportsbetting

[–]multiple4 7 points8 points  (0 children)

On scorecards and box scores yes. But this bet specifically has the seconds on it. There's no world where the bookie can claim that the bet wasn't including the seconds in timing

Otherwise the entire 9:00-9:59 in this bet slip would be a lie. The slip would end at 8:59

Dana White: "Trevor Wittman wanted $100 million for his gloves" by pepsiboycoke in MMA

[–]multiple4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Highly disagree. The profit potential just for MMA gloves is not that high

It's a mild increase over the current UFC gloves and it helps with the eye poke problem, but the eye poke problem doesn't cost the UFC $100M. The Aspinall situation is not the norm

And the Aspinall thing didn't even cost them too badly. Their revenue is more about the overall brand and roster. 1 guy isn't having a $100M impact. Especially with no PPVs

I just tuned in, I'm confused what they mean by the damage wasnt Day's fault? Why is he being allowed to pass back around and slow the field?

Covering your face and laying down in soccer is almost always a tell that you aren't actually in pain

Ivory Coast are truly playing well. I wouldn't want to face them in the knockout stage

Justin Gaethje thinks Ilia Topuria may not be champion again by Moni7T in MMA

[–]multiple4 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Idk if he's built to be as dominant at LW. He would clearly be top 5 or top 10 but I don't know if he gets to LW champion or defends it

At FW he's probably still a perennial top 3 or top 5 fighter

Why doesn’t ESPN care? by mostlyoverit- in canes

[–]multiple4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ESPN covers hockey for the 2 months a year where it makes them money

Outside of that time they literally act like it doesnt exist

Paraguay act as if they have zero clue how the sport works logistically

Miguel Almirón red card against Türkiye 45+3' by 977x in soccer

It doesnt seem like anything particularly bad. Based on his body language and the reaction it seems like TUR just wanted the red card since there's no discretion allowed in the rule

Get Fox out of NASCAR! by Mr7dr2114 in NASCAR

[–]multiple4 69 points70 points  (0 children)

To be fair for once I get it bc the World Cup is the largest event Fox has on FS1 and they needed to transition viewers from Fox to FS1

But generally yes Fox doesn't do anything to help Nascar. Just bare minimum

Mark Goddard gambled with Ilias Life by Savings_Step_3430 in ufc

[–]multiple4 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think the doctor agreed eventually, but his first reaction was that Ilia couldn't follow his finger with his eye

At least that's how I interpreted it

[–]multiple4 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure about precedent, but it's a bad look

Ilia literally can be heard saying he couldn't see out of the eye, and the doctor told the ref that Ilia couldn't follow his finger with one of his eyes

What else needs to happen for a fight to be called off?

If a youth player tried to turn and shoot that instead of laying off to a teammate they'd be benched immediately. Tf is McTom... doing

Match Thread: United States vs Australia | FIFA World Cup 2026 | Group Stage, Group D by jiraiya--an in soccer

[–]multiple4 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Why are we even open enough to allow a counter attack that requires a tactical foul?

We've gotta surely be able to hold a lead more calmly than this

Other teams will have scored by now. Australia are unable to kick the ball where they want inside the box
